Andre rounding 3rd and losing his helmet as the camera shakes from upper deck fans' stomping is one of the most exciting baseball moments I ever witnessed.
Dawson had a lot of great moments as a Cub but getting that walk ahead of Salazar’s game winning hit might have been his most important plate appearance as a Cub. I remember that game so vividly. I was 13 years old and I kept screaming “Run Dawson! Run Dawson!” Then screaming “Cubs Win! Cubs Win!” I got emotional watching Dawson and Dunston embrace. Ryno wrote in his autobiography that Dunston kept Hawk young while Hawk helped Dunston grow up.
Watching Andre Dawson run looks painful and I feel bad for his knees considering he had such bad knee problems back in 1989 and after. He was a great player and such a tough dude!
@@jamesbowman8138 Ryne Sandberg said that Dawson would literally soak both knees in buckets full of ice for 45 minutes. Before and after games. Win or lose.
I nervously and tensely watched this game as a 15 soo. The be 16 year old in just under a month back in 1989. One of the most dramatic and exciting wins in Cubs history. Cubs had a big and early lead on the Cardinals the previous day in Friday. But Terry Pendleton and Pedro Guerrero slammed the Cubs and won 11-8. That cut the Cubs lead to 1/2 games. But Rick Sutcliffe stepped up and pitched one of his most gutsy and solid games of the season going 7 innings. And the video tells the rest and the Cubs didn't look back for the rest of the 1989 regular season.
This ‘89 team was my second favorite Cub team behind, of course, the 2016 team. Most of my favorite all-time Cubbies are on this team: Greg Maddux, Andre Dawson, Ryne Sandberg, and the “wild thing” Mitch Williams.
I know what you mean - the 84 Cubs are still my most nostalgic and heartbreaking team cause I feel they were better than the Padres that year. But the 89 team was an exciting underdog team who fought all year and sometimes seemed to have no business winning the division. The Giant, I feel, were the better team in 89.
At 1:07, I think I saw a rookie named Girardi. And, I miss the days when there was no last on the back of the home uniforms. I hope they go back to that tradition.
Only the Yankees can do that because they win. But I do like to see variances of nameplates concerning size and where they are placed. One size doesn’t fit all.

Whhhat? Chicago went bananas everywhere when Salazar brung in the Hawk. One of the most important games and memorable one in Chicago period. Sarcasm? Lol
GREAT Memories as a Cubs fan for me. that's why I'm here.

Totally agree.
Best fans in baseball, and it's not even close
Luis Salazar was huge in September and the playoffs in 1989. Homered vs SF.
Best fans in all of baseball, and it's not even close
One of my all time fave Cubs moments, and a great call by Harry
Mine too ! I'm glad someone posted it
El mejor 3base venezolano peloterazo luis salazar
My man!
This was the turning point for the Cubs. At that point, the Cardinals had crept to within a half game of the Cubs. Big win for the Cubs.
That was the signature moment. That and the pickoff game. I knew they had it by then.
Harry Carry the legend!

Harry Caray was everything!

He had his worst year in Chicago in 1989.due to injuries.

Man I loved that 89 team
I met luis Salazar in florida when he managed the florida firefrogs in 2018 AAA to Atlanta braves
89 Cubs are my favorite even over 16 Cubs

I saw this game live on WGN. It was a Saturday afternoon game and it rained to make it a evening game.
Nike Should Make 1989 Chicago Cubs Jersey With They're Names on The Back
Could somebody send this video to Len Kasper and Sciambi. This is how you announce a baseball game
I remember this game i was 9 years old
At 1:07, I think I saw a rookie named Girardi. And, I miss the days when there was no last on the back of the home uniforms. I hope they go back to that tradition.

Back in the days when the name on the front was more important.
I remember that game.... It was very important for Cubs... After, Cubs lost against Giants
Yeah an all-time favorite game.
